About this Item

Entire issue, August, 1936, in original, colorful, pictorial wraps, light general wear and rubbing, small skinned area noted at front wrap, generally clean and bright overall as noted in pictures. The first appearance of this masterful story of love and loss under the shadows of Mt. Kilimanjaro, Africa. It is considered as among the very best work by the author. From the text, "The marvelous thing is that it's painless, he said. That's how you know when it starts. Is it really? Absolutely. I'm awfully sorry about the odor though. That must bother you. Don't! Please don't. Look at them, he said. Now is it sight or is it scent that brings them like that? The cot the man lay on was in the wide shade of a mimosa tree and as he looked out past the shade onto the glare of the plain there were three of the big birds squatted obscenely, while in the sky a dozen more sailed, making quick-moving shadows as they passed."
